The Bill established the World Trade Center Health Program, providing critical support for over 135,000 first responders and survivors exposed to toxins at Ground Zero.
Since the program's inception, approximately 84,000 enrollees have contracted a 9/11-related illness, illustrating the long-term health consequences of exposure to toxic air.
Despite Congress reauthorizing the program through 2090, the alarming rate of new illnesses among first responders highlights an urgent need for additional funding to sustain care.
As the number of people requiring help continues to grow, it is crucial to maintain and enhance funding for the health program assisting 9/11 victims.
